Come learn about The Reset Foundation, an innovative approach to transforming our country's failing incarceration system, and get involved in a new pro bono project! Reset's work is simple: they are creating a new model of prison focused entirely on education and reentry. Founded by CLS alum JaneWilson '11, the organization is starting by a pilot school for incarcerated young adult males from low-income NYC neighborhoods. Jane and her colleagues would love assistance from law students who can tackle specific research questions to help them navigate the process.

Come hear about the project from a recent alum who is using her law degree to achieve social justice in a groundbreaking fashion, and find out how you can get involved! A non-pizza lunch will be served. Contact: Jared Miller, jsm2162@columbia.edu
